Unforgettable Experience - Highly recommend. The entire crew was amazing and made our birthday celebration one to remember. This felt more personalized than some of the larger companies. Safety was a priority and they treat you like family. Would definitely do this this again.

Best private hot air balloon experience - Had an incredible private hot air balloon flight with Elevated New Mexico in Albuquerque. This is a must do if you're visiting ABQ. Justin, Keshia, and crew made it a very memorable one. We did a sunrise flight that lasted for about 90 min - 2 hours followed by snacks and mimosas. The flight itself was executed in a very safe and professional manner from start to finish and would definitely recommend them!

Book with Elevate this is not open for discussion JUST DO IT. - Should you do a balloon ride in Albuquerque? Yes. And you should book it with Elevate. I cannot say enough good things about Keisha, Justin and their group (please don’t be mad, I don’t remember everyone’s names!). The experience feels very intimate and personalized and TRUST ME it was WAAAAY better than being up there with a group of 12-16 people like the other companies boast.
The views are incredible, the experience is peaceful, and it was so much fun being up there. Justin was so communicative and prepped us on what to anticipate before, during, and after the ride. There were no surprises and I felt totally safe the entire time.
The folks at Elevate all have great energy. It was such an incredible way to start the day and the champagne toast, snacks, and talks about ballooning put such a personal touch on the experience. I would book with them tomorrow again if we weren’t leaving!
They are awesome, the experience is fantastic, and you won’t regret it. Stop reading and book it already.

Ballooning - While we were unable to take the balloon ride due to weather the couple that run the company were very friendly and professional. They were at the pick up site on time and hopeful we would be able to launch. They did a good job explaining the situation and safety procedures to us. While in the end it was determined not to be safe to take the balloon up it was very disappointing but we understood that safety for all had to be a priority. We are saving toe 5 star rating for when we return and are able to take the ride. For those of you wandering we received a 100% refund. Don’t wait do it when you get a chance!
